Really cool space right on Mass Ave! We were in the fourth floor Studio which was clean and had all the amenities other small apartment. The memory foam bed was comfortable! Host communication was excellent. Will definitely stay here again!

Had a great stay. Super convenient to Northeastern and shopping/restaurants.
Location was great. Room was small but nice for a solo traveler staying for a couple of nights. The property/room was very clean and the seamless check in (receiving door codes via email) was fantastic. I had a garden view room which was perfect as I didn't have any street noise... save for some emergency vehicles. If your room overlooks Mass Ave you will have plenty of city noise. So many places to walk from here and you are just one block from the Orange Line. Additionally, grabbing an Uber/Lyft right out front is quick and seamless.

This is a great spot. Near a busy intersection, so not quiet but slept well and really enjoyed the location. Beautiful room. Great communication from staff. Fast responses to all my questions.

The kitchen was fully equipped, and the place was very clean. It's conveniently located near universities and downtown, with everything within walking distance. However, I do wish there was an elevator—carrying luggage up to the fourth floor was quite a challenge. That said, the bed and sofa couch were comfortable, and we slept well.

Great stay, very clean, room aesthetic is beautiful, kitchenette with all necessities, proximity to a lot of good dining and coffee shops. Just be aware that it is not soundproof and . I will definitely always book for my Boston stays.

Excellent property, well appointed, clean and with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Close to public transportation and several restaurants and eateries nearby. Easy check in and out. The only negative is the city noise: sirens, traffic, etc. but that comes with the convenience of being in the city.

We enjoyed our stay at the Chester, the room was clean and decorated beautifully so it felt like a home rather than a hotel room. I’d highly recommend the restaurant right next door, Mida, but make a reservation. If you need quiet this isn’t the place for you as it’s near a busy intersection so there are frequent sirens and car noise but we got used to it and the positives definitely outweighed the negative!

It was not a hotel. The name is misleading. I did not want to go in an apartment
Best part was getting a complete refund because this place was so bad.

I liked that it was in walking distance to Fenway Park and not far from other attractions.
The bed was comfortable but it is a little noisy. The people upstairs were up all hours of the night.
The water took a long time to heat up and was mostly lukewarm.

We had no heat for the entire stay- it was below 20 on some nights and we were freezing. We messaged some agent over and over and they kept having us trying to troubleshoot. Then they said they sent a technician which they did not. I never got anyone on the phone to speak to. They just kept texting me. I thought I was texting a bot.
Overall, the room was nice and spacious, and the decor was lovely however, the television only faces too awkward dining room chairs versus being able to articulate it and watch it from a comfortable spot.
The historic brownstone had tremendous charm and was lovely. There was a problem with the heat not working and repeated requests for something to be done were met with conflicting information about possible repairs, but nothing was done. Luckily the temperatures rose during the day, which helped keep it a little more comfortable.
